"This series began with an investigation into the imperative in contemporary self-help culture. The concept of self-help is uniquely American. The idea that one should always be self-supporting is a pervasive belief, tracing its roots back to the Puritans. I started to question how this culture manifests itself in the contemporary settings of social media sites like Instagram and Facebook. During my research, I picked several aphorisms that are meant to offset personal pain and kickstart personal growth. Often, these imperatives take the form of an idealistic image with overlaid text. These images are specifically chosen for their romantic and fantasy driven power which can be just as manipulative as the imperative inscribed upon it. I continued to develop the possibilities of image and overlaid imperative. The image and text were completely disconnected until one overlaid the other. In other words, they were independent of each other in a way that seemed revolutionary to me in the history of visual culture. "

"I grew up surrounded by art and music in a family of artists and violin makers so I quite naturally became a creator myself.

I find pleasure in the exploration of different tools and techniques.

Daniele Gabriel is an artist who focuses on both traditional and digital mediums with an interest in costumes, as a reference to her childhood experiences. Gabriel uses her costumed characters as a stand in for particular disquieting memories. Gabriel then activates these memories by constructing uncanny narratives with her costumed characters. Understood in this way Gabriel’s images are unflinching invitations to share in the quirkiness and playfulness of her multifaceted persona.

Born in Miami Florida, Daniele Gabriel earned her Associate degree from Miami Dade College, and her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Miami in Coral Gables and is currently earning her Master of Fine Arts degree in painting. She studied art history, painting, printmaking, and graphic design as well as other mediums, all of which influence her style.
